Call to Arms: Infernalist

The Call to Arms series brings exciting new classes and other character options to your Fantasy Craft table. This installment presents the Infernalist, a witch or warlock who barters with evil forces for knowledge, love, and conquest. Driven by dark desires to risk his greatest possession - his immortal soul - the Infernalist seeks nothing short of ultimate arcane power.

Depending on your campaign, an Infernalist could be...

A megalomaniacal wizard whose lust for power knows no moral (or mortal) bounds

A sorcerer rescued from certain death at the price of eternal damnation

An adept seduced by vile forces beyond his understanding

A blood-mage tapping the power of death to fuel vile magic

A witch consorting with the Devil to wreak terrible revenge on her enemies

A tragic figure accepting a Pyrrhic bargain to save his true love

This expert class expansion also includes new Spellcasting feats that let you convert your fallen enemies' blood into spell points, align and manipulate aligned spells, and revel in the dark supremacy of the Shadow School.

Take Heed! The Infernalist is not for timid players, nor the faint of heart. By taking levels in this class you're bargaining with malevolent forces of incredible power and risking your character's long-term safety and security. Demonic blessings always come with a price - in this case permanent penalties representing your character's gradual slide into oblivion. Along the way, however, he gains access to powers well beyond any other arcane spellcaster, including the Mage.

I consider this one of the less essential books in the series. While the Infernalist is flavorful and does the job, the taint mechanic is not all that inspired, and there is little to set this character apart from a straight-up Mage. That said, the cla [...]

The Infernalist is a very interesting class. They have great potential for roleplaying, both as a villain and as a PC. The layout is very nice and follows the same formula as the other class books, and the additional feats are quite nice. I could easil [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
